I bought the floral panel just because it's beautiful. And again, I didn't have a pattern for it. But once I found one, I went back for another panel, so I could use up the supporting fabrics.
So, no, I didn't have a plan. All the fabric came from an off price outlet, so it seemed reasonable to buy two at the time. I knew I would never find those fabrics again.
Now my plan is to make some of these quilts and to quit buying fabric until I use what I already have.

I would do them at the same time. It would save a lot of time. I would use lots of pinned on notations as I went along. I sew for a craft-boutique group and always make things in multiples. It is tedious to do them one at a time and then repeat the process.

I just finished 2 crib quilts for great nephew twins. I cut both out at the same time. I pieced both at the same time; however, I sandwiched, quilted and put borders on as separate quilts. Since these were my very first quilts, I learned from the first one. I think if I had completed one and then started the other, I would have been bored and have wished I was done. This way, I was excited as I saw how each one was progressing.

Dunster shared an interesting point...you might find an easier step while making the first one. My initial thoughts were the same as the majority of the group...do both at the same time, however, I’m one that would probably want to change my colors of the second one if the first one wasn’t coming together pleasingly. Good luck. <script type="text/javascript" src="https://beacon.krxd.net/optout_check?callback=Krux.ns.internetbrands.kxjso np_optOutCheck"></script>
